How to Celebrate Leap Day 2012!



Happy Leap Year!

Leap years only come about once every four years. Leap year came about when the creators of the solar calendar realized we needed to add an extra day every four years to synchronize with the seasons and with the astronomical year. February 29 has become known as Leap Day. Since it only comes around every four years, here are our favorite ways to celebrate leap year and Leap Day!


Take a chace


Use this day as an excuse to do something you wouldn’t normally do. We’re not saying to park next to a windowless van or anything — just do something different. Take a different route to the mall, order a new dessert. If you don’t like it, so what? You broke a boundary!



Indulge in a cheesy romcom



Just like Valentine’s Day has, well, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve has New Year’s Eve, leap year has — wait for it! — Leap Year.


Propose!



Or, you know, just ask that cute guy out. Irish folklore says that St. Bridget bargained with St. Patrick to allow women to propose to men every four years as a means to balance not only gender roles, but also the calendar. So chat up that cute guy in your geometry class and invite him for a slice of pizza (or, if you really want to get festive, shepherd’s pie)!

Another alternative? Put a ring on yourself. You deserve it!

Emo Behind Pavement


If you are clinging on to one thing then all of a sudden he/she left you behind, it cripples your heart and probably would make your life miserable. I’m not sad at all I just went through my music library and spotted this song by Jennifer Love Hewitt. I can feel how this song gives bravery to someone who is truly in love and is afraid of loosing him/her especially if the other one is leaving. Gaaaaaaaa!!!

This song goes out to those who are in a lynching-relationship, I know it’s too early to post this as V-day just conceded 2 days ago and the mood is too early to be “emo”. Hehehehe..
Well, nevertheless, I love how this song was written.



Don't Throw It All Away

Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
But lately you don't talk to me
And baby I can't see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you're so far away
And it's losing you I can't believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die

You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I am here without your love you know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all

Chorus:
4x Don't throw it all away our love (our love) Don't throw it all away our love
Don't throw it all away (2x)

We can take the darkness and make it full of light
Let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on
No other man's love could be as true, I'm beggin you

Chorus:
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I am here without you love you know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all
(so high...above it all)
Don't throw it all away our love (our love) Don't throw it all away our love (so high...above it all)
Don't throw it all away our love (our love) Don't throw it all away our love
